Manchester City have officially announced the signing of 19-year-old Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis. The highly sought-after Brazilian talent had drawn interest from several top European clubs, but City acted decisively early in the transfer window to secure his signature for a reported £29.4 million.

Reis joins the reigning Premier League champions as part of their defensive reinforcement plan, following the £33.6 million acquisition of Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens.

Expressing his excitement about the move, Reis said:
“I’m excited to join Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in the world. Everyone has seen the amazing achievements in recent seasons, and I want to make my mark as we seek more trophies.

“Working with Pep Guardiola is something every young player dreams of, and I know he can help me develop into the best player I can be. City also have a lot of experience with Brazilian footballers, and joining players like Ederson and Savinho will be a big help for me.”

City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, praised the new signing, calling him one of the brightest young defensive prospects:
“Vitor Reis is one of the most promising young defenders in the world, and we’re delighted to bring him here.

“In his short time in senior football in Brazil, he has shown immense potential and the ability to go far in the game. Working with Pep and our coaching staff will help him reach his full potential.

“Vitor is excellent on the ball, outstanding in the air, and possesses all the qualities needed to become one of the best defenders. He is very young, but his talent is so exceptional that we believe he can make an impact both now and in the future.”

Reis’s arrival further strengthens City’s squad as they aim to maintain their dominance in both domestic and European competitions.

Real Madrid have announced the signing of young Brazilian attacker Endrick from Palmeiras for an undisclosed fee. The teenager will make the move to the Bernabeu when he turns 18 in 2024

The 16-year-old attacker will sign with the European and Spanish champions in July 2024 as a result of Fifa regulations that forbid minors from participating in international soccer.

Palmeiras and Real Madrid did not disclose the length of the contract but confirmed that the player will be visiting the club’s facilities in Spain next week.

“Real Madrid CF, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, Endrick and his family have reached an agreement whereby the player will be able to join Real Madrid when he comes of age in July 2024,” a statement read, Los Blancos announced Thursday.

Palmeiras president Leila Pereira added: “We have completed the biggest negotiation in the history of Brazilian football. Real Madrid’s proposal is compatible with Endrick’s enormous talent and corresponds to the sporting and financial goals that we have established since the beginning of negotiations.”

Most elite teams in Europe were interested in signing Endrick, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain being his main opponents.

However, mp3bullet has long stated that Endrick wanted to join Real Madrid and the deal has now been completed.

Endrick told Palmeiras’ in-house media: “I thank Palmeiras, the greatest champion of Brazil, champions of America, champion of the world and, forever, the club of my heart, for offering me everything necessary to become what I am today, for helping to accomplish several of my dreams and for respecting my desire and that of my family to make another dream come true.

“Until I join Real Madrid, I will continue to dedicate myself as I have always dedicated myself to being able to offer Palmeiras even more on the field: more goals, more victories, more titles and even more joy for our fans.”
